Just goes to show that everyone shouldn’t have ideas. |
Private school education is a luxury when there is a good alternative. We scrape to send our kids to private and accept the sacrifice - no fancy vacations; no cleaner, gardener or any other outsourced help; one old car; etc. We are fine with that as it’s an inevitable consequence of our decision. Most of our neighbors earn far more and send their kids to Whitman. I know far too many people zoned for Whitman or BCC who earn more than us and receive financial aid at private schools. Should I be required to pay higher tuition to fund more support for people who don’t actually need it? I certainly wouldn’t expect financial aid given we have a good alternative. For that reason, I barely contribute to financial aid. I donate to charities that address true poverty and hardship. |
Taxpayers are already giving you free public school K-12. If you cannot afford to educate your children, there is already a free option. If you don't like it, the usual response is to move into a different district.
If you want wealthy parents at private school to fund your child's education instead, go apply for admission and financial aid and see if they offer you a spot with aid. The programs are already quite generous. The wildest idea of all would be to pay for your child's education yourself. |
no, it goes to show that the further left somebody's politics are, the less able/willing they are to defend their position on substance. |
How closely does financial aid at these schools correlate to racial minorities? |
Oh so it’s the left that are willing to help the disadvantaged? |
Is there some reason you don't ask for FA knowing there are wealthier people than you that receive it? Or is it a very DMV situation where the parents don't make a ton, but the grandparents are loaded (and still paying for a lot of their kids' lives)...so practically those parents are wealthier than you, but legally/technically they are not (until the grandparents move on in this life). |
Private school is a luxury good for rich people. Why is this surprising? |
What does it have to do with minorities? Are they the recipients of financial aid? Are they the one’s always looking for a handout? |
